LEVELING AND ADJUSTING
PITCH OF MOWER DECK
Pitch is the difference in blade height from
front to back or from side to side.
Adjust on a level surface with the tires inflated
to the correct air pressure. See Specifications
on page 35.
Three measurements are required to level
and adjust the pitch of the mower deck:
1. The distance from the mower blades to
the ground.
2. The forward pitch of the mower blades.
3. The side-to-side pitch of the mower
blades.
